Net greenhouse gas emissions of the Land use, Land use change and Forestry (LULUCF) sector (1990-2024provisional)

This indicator comprises historical net emissions estimates from the LULUCF sector.
The LULUCF data covers the annual fluxes of CO2, CH4 and N2O from all managed land in the EU. Emissions and removals are reported by six land use categories: forest land, cropland, grassland, wetlands, settlements and other lands and CO2 fluxes due to changes in the pool of carbon stored in harvested wood products. The definitions of land use categories and managed vs unmanaged are Member State specific. Member States follow the IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories when estimating emissions and removals of greenhouse gases to ensure transparency, accuracy, comparability, completeness, and consistency in reported data.
